**** son, that car is going to look sick

[oxman]

That's looking really good sir! Where did you get the bumpers and side skirts?

[sweet2kstang]

off ebay. i have less than $500 invested on the body stuff :D

[Blackout_03]

Not much on the 01 Front bumper....but the rest is tits....I want a shaved 03 bra rear bumper!!!!

[Jimmy]

car's going to look great man,

[1low03gt]

The GT is gonna be sick!! :twisted:

[Bigjht]

Which hoods are you torn between? The rear bumper is going to be awesome. I'm surprised no one made an aftermarket bumper like that without the COBRA letters on it or one that said GT. I think it would sell well.

[sweet2kstang]

i like the 99/01 cobra bumber, but i like the termi's better. the only thing is i think silver is the hardes color to work with on the new edges. the silver termi front just dont appeal to me, i think it looks a little awkward. i think there is an aftermarket termi bumer that has no embossing in it, its a couple hundred bucks. as for the hood, i am tore between the 95r, 00r hoods. the carbon fiber saleen hood hs crossed my mind. if i were to do that, i would have to make sure i could lay the paint down good enough so the carbon fiber weaving cant be seen.

thanks for the comments

[stumbaugh]

95 cobra r FTW

[sweet2kstang]

thats what i am really leaning toward, cant seem to go wrong with that hood. i am so covered up with work, porting the heads, getting the motor parts, etc, that i cant seem to get time to sit and really decide. seems when i get one thing figured out, i have to solve another issue with this car. i still have to buy the interior stuff and safety stuff so i can legally get it down the track.

I agree,the Termi front facia.... black,or white i think are the two colors that really work for it.
R hood for sure. ;)

[sweet2kstang]

i just want a little different look, but i am not going to put something on it thats going to make it look out of place as well. i know the 95r hood will look **** good, but i have always liked the 00r hood. my original plans was to have a roush front instead, but i couldnt pass the deal on the cobra front i have now. if i were to of gotten the roush i had my mind set on the 95r. now i looking at different options again.

[stumbaugh]

The 00 hood looks sick to. Either choice is going to look good

[08VAPORGT]

I like the body choices you made. Everyone is going to have different taste, trust me I have been told on my car, but what you like is what matters. Can't wait to see the finished product. Keep the update pics coming though. BTW, I like the new wheels and tires (street)...

[stumbaugh]

The 15s r going to look good with the skinnys on the front.

thanks, i personally like nice subtle stuff, not anything that really stands out. i have to do some modifying to get the 18's to work, i wasnt paying attention when i ordered them and got the wrong offset.

The 15s r going to look good with the skinnys on the front.

yeah, i cant wait to test fit them. i was about to buy a set of 26x4.5's from a guy, but he backed out of the deal.

i am hoping to have primer laid down on it soon so i can start all the blocking that needs to be done. i will try to get it to a friends paint booth to lay down some color on it. i might wait on the color for a little bit because i have some glass work i need to get started on in the turnk as well. i dont want to rish damaging the new paint.

[stumbaugh]

R u going back silver??

[sweet2kstang]

yeah. i was wanting to do a scheme, but i couldnt get an idea of what i would really want. i would of liked to do a color change, but more than i want to do. i was thinking of going redfire, just too much work.

[stumbaugh]

either way, it's going be ballin' when it's done

[sweet2kstang]
